Tlic  Fairies  seven,  who  loved  the  land—  that  ti.ey  the  child  might  bless, 

Yet  one  old  Fairy  they  left  out,  in  pure  forgetfulness. 

And  at  the  feast,  the  dishes  fair  were  of  the  reddest  gold ; 

]5  it  when  the  Fairy  came,  not  one  for  her,  so  bad  and  old. 

Angry  was  she,  because  her  place  and  dish  had  been  forgot, 

And  angry  things  she  muttered  long,  and  kept  her  anger  hot,

|S|But  said,  that  in  the  future  years  the  Princess  young  should  die,  [n  vain  in  all  her  fathers  Col

^  But  now  a  kind  young  Fairy,  who  had  waited  to  the  last,  [are  past;  For  in  a  lonely  turret  high,  a 

®J Stepped' forth,  and  said,  "No,  she  shall  sleep  till  a  hundred  years  '  '•        '■ 

"And  then  she  shall  be  wakened  by  a  King's  son— truth  I  tell— 

"  And  he  will  take  her  for  his  wife,  and  all  will  yet  be  well." 


I'here  .lives  an  ancient  wom^ 
fne  Princess  found  her  out  o 
Alas !  the  spindle  pricked  hef 


lie  spinning-wheel's  forbid 
e  spindles  sharp  are  hid ;  ' 
jp  a  winding  stair,     6       [care. 
ho  still  turns  her  wheel  with 
iay,  and  tried  to  learn  to  spin  ; 


And  down  she  falls  in  death-like  sleep  :  they  lay  her  on  hev  bedj 

And  all  around  her  sink  to  rest — a  palace  of  the  dead  ! 

A  Jiundred  years  pass — still  they  sleep,  and  all  around  the  place^ 

A  wood  of  thorns  has  risen  up — np  path  a  man  can  trace 

At  last,  a  King's  son,  in  the  hunt,  asked  how  long  it  had  stood, 


r\d — the  charm  had  entered  in  !  |  ^.nd  what  old  towers  were  those  he  saw  above  the  ancient  wood.) 


An  aged  peasant  told  of  an  enchanted  palace,  where 

A  sleeping  King  and  Court  lay  hid,  and  sleeping  Princess  fair. 

Through  the  thick  wood,  that  gave  him  way,  and  past  the  thorns  that  drew 

Their  sharpest  points  another  way,  the  King's  son  presses  through. 

He  reached  the  guard,  the  court,  the  hall, — and  there,  where'er  he  stept, 

He  saw  the  sentinels,  and  grooms,  and  courtiers  as  they  slept. 


He  leads  her  forth  :  the  magic  sleep  of  all  the  Court  is  oer, — 

They  wake,  they  move,  they  talk,  they  laugh,  just  as  they  did  of  yore 

A  hundred  years  ago.     The  King  and  Queen  awake,  and  tell 

How  all  has  happed,  rejoicing  much  that  all  has  ended  well. 

They  hold  the  wedding  that  same  day,  with  mirth  and  feasting  good— 

The  wedding  of  the  Prince  and  Sleeping  Beauty  in  the  Wood.

For  a  month  after  the  wedding  they 
lived  and  had  good  cheer, 
k     And  then  said    Bluebeard  to  his  wife, 
JB  "  I  '11  say  good-bye,  my  dear ; 

CJ    "  Indeed,  it  is  but  for  six  weeks  that  I 
shall  be  away, 

"  I  beg  that  you'll  invite  your  friends, 
.  and  feast  and  dance  and  play  ; 

gi   "  And  all  my  property  I  '11  leave  con- 
M  fided  to  your  care  : 

W     "  Here  are  the  keys  of  all  my  chests, 
I  there's  plenty  and  to  spare. 


"  But  this  small  key  belongs  to  one  small 

room  on  the  ground-floor, — 
"  And  this  you  must  not  open,  or  you 

will  repent  it  sore." 
And  so   he  went ;    and   all   the   friends 

came  there  from  far  and  wide, 
And  in  her  wealth  the  lady  took  much 

happiness  and  pride ; 
But  in  a  while   this  kind   of  joy  grew 

nearly  satisfied,

is  poor  wife,  distracted,  picked  the  key 
p  from  the  floor, 
Ci  All  stained  with  blood  ;  and  with  much  fea 

she  shut  and  locked  the  door. 
She  tried  in  vain  to  clean  the  key  and  wash 

the  stain  away 
With  sand  and  soap,— it  was  no  use.      Blue 

beard  came  back  that  day  ; 
At  once  he  asked  her  for  the  key, — he  saw 

the  bloody  stain, — 


"  Come  down  !  "  cried  Bluebeard,  "  time  is 

up  ! "    With  many  a  sigh  and  moan, 
She    prayed   him   for  a  minute   more ;    he 

shouted  still,  "Come  down!" 
"  O  sister  Anne,  look  out,  look  out !  and  do 

you  nothing  see  ?" 
"  At  last  I  see  our  brothers  two  come  riding 

hastily." 
"  Now    spare    me,     Bluebeard, — spare    thy 

wife!"  but  as  the  words  were  said, 

■r"5 


And  just  as    Bluebeard's   cruel  blade  was 

descending  on  her  head, 
Q  In  rushed  the  brothers  with  their  swords, — 

they  cut  the  murderer  down, 
And  saved    their  sister's  life,   and    gained 

much  glory  and  renown  ;
